I tried it again and it turns out that git is smarter than patch/diff
and quilt.  There is an extra line between the functions so quilt (which
is what I use to manage stable patches) rejects the patch.  I've fixed
it up by hand now, but I recommend you to use quilt when porting patches
to make sure that something like this doesn't happen again.
